Idris Elba has officially been knighted by King Charles III during a ceremony held at Windsor Castle on Tuesday
The Golden Globe-winning actor, who was earlier named in the New Year Honours list, received the prestigious title in recognition of his services to young people.
The honour comes four years after the 53-year-old launched the Elba Hope Foundation, an organisation dedicated to education, youth empowerment, community development and sustainable initiatives.
Best known for his role in Luther, Elba has increasingly focused on philanthropy alongside his acting career, frequently advocating for greater opportunities for young people.
Last year, it was also confirmed that he would collaborate with King Charles on a documentary marking the 50th anniversary of The Prince’s Trust, now known as The King’s Trust.
